Type one diabetic here & not a doctor. When I break out in skin legions (ie red skin wounds that crust over) I have twice fixed it with north of 1g of zinc daily for just over a week combined with copper.

I have been put on multiple antibiotics to treat them, and the only fix for a year or two at a time is the zinc & copper remedy. Quinine + Zinc + Copper have fixed the skin issues that are "just part of diabetes" for long periods of time.

Also when coupled with vitamin D it seems to really increase the effectiveness of insulin shots, twice to the point where I was eating over 8k in simple carb calories (ie sugar) for the long lasting insulins I took.

My Dexcom has shown some interesting stuff with insulin effectiveness after using Ivermectin or Quinine coupled with 40k UI of vitamin D & large doses of Zinc & Copper.

I don't suggest anyone just start doing it. Do the research & figure out the balance. I still am, though it certainly makes my insulin more effective & I need to figure out if there are any other factors.

Crazy times fren.
